COAL-STOVE.

The Schedule referred. to in tliese Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

clear, and exact description thereof, which will ena-` ble othersskilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being Ahad to theaccompanying draw ing, forming part of this specification.'v

This invention relates to a new and useful ,improvement in stoves,whereby theylare rendered convertible, for different uses, and consistsinthe construetion and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described,

In the accompanying sheet of drawing-fl f Figure 1 represents a verticalsection of 'the stove, through the line ro-x of g..2. v l

Figure 2'is a vertical section, throughthe line g/-y of iig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. j l

This stove is designed for burning coal as fuel, but any suitablefuelmay be used, as in other stoves." 1t consists of a hearth, A, andash-pit B,with. a grate, C, nre-box D, (in the form of an invertedtruncated cone) E is the top ofthe stove, which is square, or nearlysquare, with rounded corners, with sides which slope down to the top oftheire-box, as seen iu iig.2. l

F represents the oven, which is placed on'the stove, enclosing theaperture through the top.

, A portion, G, of this oven is fast on the top, and

the other or upper part, H, is hinged to G, so that it may be raised,'and the top of the stove exposed, for other uses than baking. 1

One importa-nt feature ofthe stove is, the provisionmade for heating'ca-ilors irons For Ethis ipnrpose, I cover the top of' the stove (orthe aperture) with a series of corrugated plates, marked lappedtogether, so as to support each other, as seen in the drawing. l

By'tbis method of forming the bearing-illalateior heating Tailors irons,the sudden contraction 'of a heated plate, caused by contactl with acold-mass of iron,1s prevented, the corrugations allow oi? a circulationbetween the plate and the bottom of the iron, and, the plate being madein separate parts,- as represented, expansion and contraction inthemetal cause no damage.

These plates form a bottom for the oven, for baking bread'or otherarticles. l

At J, iig. 1, itl will be seen that there is a pipe, which connects thestationary portion G witir the smoke-pipe K.

ing ordiminishing the draught from the oven. Lis a grate,A forsupporting articles inthe oven. A

for broiling.

For broiliug,baking griddlecakcs, and for all cookingpurposes when gas,-smoke, or disagreeable vapors such smoke or vapor be conducted to thechimney, throughthe pipe J This is a valuabie feature in the stove.

When the corrugated plates I are removed, varioussized rings, foraccommodating different-sized kettles or vessels, are placed in theaperture in the top of the stove.

m is a drop-door, for introducing fuel. I l

'n is a damper, for regulating the draught of the air to theireboxand,giving access tothe ash-pit.

O is a slide-damper, for admitting air to the oven.

The advantages of this arrangement are many, and must be obvious toall.- l

Having thus described my invention,

ters Patent, is-' y 1. In combination' with a stove, for heating tailorsber, arranged substantially as described. V

2. The construction, arrangement, aud combination ofthe ash-pit B,tire-box D, top E, and ovenl", subscribed. l
